MainView for DB2® Management

Optimized DB2 workloads

BMC MainView for DB2 Management 6 removes the guesswork from performance tuning, enabling you to configure your DB2 mainframe environment for optimal z/OS system performance. With this solution, you’ll be able to:

Proactive performance tuning

MainView for DB2 Management addresses system tuning, monitoring, and automation in order to deliver higher reliability and efficiency across your DB2 environment. The tools in this solution will help you find and correct DB2 system exceptions, quickly pinpoint and resolve bottlenecks, and access real-time and historical data for guided analysis and recommendations.

Evaluation of critical metrics

Catch exceptions before they can cause problems by monitoring critical DB2 metrics, like current thread activity, DB2 and buffer pool status, and lockout events.

“BMC MainView is the primary monitoring tool for all our mainframe processes. We deployed the solution quite recently; the aim being to introduce a monitoring and automation solution that was more efficient and easier to maintain. BMC offers Delhaize one integrated solution―not different components from different suppliers.”

Products included in this solution

BMC MainView for DB2 allows you to manage multiple DB2 systems as though they were a single system. By summarizing data from multiple systems into single view, the product enables you to analyze performance at user-specified intervals so you can catch any DB2 performance issues before they cause problems. You’ll be able to monitor real-time data to provide early warning of any exception conditions that might arise for either resources or workloads. MainView for DB2 focuses on the metrics that are most critical to DB2 performance, including lockout events, thread activity, DB2 and buffer pool statistics, and page-set data.
